The 39 Clues double-cross mission Titanic Book 1 Q4 blog 8!!!

The main characters name is Ian Kabra, he is the leader of the Cahills. Dan and Amy are still there helping with others who say the Outcast is wrong. Here's what happening right now they stopped the Titanic || from sinking, but now they have to stop the ship from blowing up. This is happening after the 39 Clues ended and the Vespers defeated. This is happening on the Titanic ||. The Outcast wants to prove he is a better leader.  He's doing this by recreating 4 disasters which only 3 remain.

If you analyze the characters closer to the end they all show fear then they show stunned because they stop the ship from blowing up in a matter of seconds. For an example. "The gauge was in red Amy watched as it edged farther into the danger zone Hamilton kept pouring. The gauge stopped moving. The needle trembled Dan held one finger. Ham reached for the last gallon and poured in the oil in a steady steam. He closed the valve and stood still waiting. The gauge began to sink back down into the green zone. Slowly. They watched it their heartbeats hammering agains their chest." This shows that they were fearing it would not work and they were stunned because the saw it was work. They new they managed to stop one of the disasters.

The main character's name is Ian Kabra the leader of the Cahills. Dan and Amy are helping him and some others. They figured out the real first disaster which was the Titanic || was going to sink just like the Titanic. They also got on it without having any trouble because a rich ally was with them. They have not gone anywhere else but the Titanic || right now. They are in the open seas. The person that calls himself the Outcast wants the Cahills to follow him, but some of the Cahills did not follow him. Like Dan and Amy and some other family members that disagreed with the Outcast.

The signpost I saw was a Contrast and Contradiction. I found this when someone almost blew Dan's cover.  Dan was trying to look for clues of how the Outcast is going to cause the Titanic || to sink.  If his cover was blown it would be impossible to get someone's key card to look in the lower decks. Dan thought that Dr Jeff was going to give him away but he did not. " Dr Jeff hesitated. Dan pleaded him with his eyes, but he didn't know what he was asking for. Dr. Jeff put his hand on Dan's shoulder. Of course I do! This is my research assistant, Rollo Hardcastle. We were just heading to the lounge." This evidence shows that Dr Jeff was probably going to say it was Dan but he really did not because he never gets to met a legend like Dan.

The main character is Ian Kabra the leader of the Cahills. Dan and Amy are back helping again. Right now it is telling what the Outcast was doing to the other members in the Cahills family, by tricking them into betraying their family. The new place are Nova Scoita, and Mexico. This is happening after the Vespers were defeated and finished the 39 clues. This is happening because the Outcast is seeing whose a better leader. Because the Outcast is making the Cahills follow him and ruin the Cahills family branch. He doing this by making 4 disasters. One of the disaster's they have found out about. Also they need to figure out how to stop it before it happens again.

The conflict right now is a Man VS Man because Ian is going to see who is a better leader him or the Outcast. The Outcast claims he is a better leader because he recreated four disasters. Ian tried to stop him with help from Dan and Amy. Right now they think a person named Atlas is giving the Outcast explosives and planing to blow up a city area with people being killed. "Amy walked a few steps closer. She had already studied the church online. it seemed like the perfect place for the meeting. Met all requirements. She was nervous Ian joined her  I've gone over it and over it in my head, he said we'll be okay. Things could go wrong that you don't expect, Amy said I've planned for every eventuality, Ian said. This is a business meeting. He either agrees to help us or he doesn't. True Amy said. But this is a guy who's dealt with the baddest people on the planet. He could be unpredictable." This is talk about how dangerous the Outcast can be and also he maybe a crazy killer.

The 39 Clues Double Cross book one Mission Titanic Q4 Blog5

The main character's name is Ian Kabra, Leader of Cahills. Ian found Dan and Amy he needed their help again even though they were through with the 39 clues and the Vespers. Ian needed to get other Cahills family member's help trying to find out this person who calls himself the Outcast. That person also said that he recreated 4 disasters. This started after the 39 clues ended and the Vespers being stopped before they destroyed the world. The places they have been in so far are Massachusetts, NYC, and France. This is happening because this person who calls himself the Outcast, if Ian, Dan, and Amy don't figure out the riddles they are given from him many people will DIE. This person is doing this by recreating 4 major disasters.

A Sign note I found was an Aha moment. The Aha moment happened when they found out one of the great disasters that the Outcast guy recreated. I found proof on page 47 "let's plug all the elements that don't make sense into a search engine chain. Canada,  Mont Blanc, Collision, Blindness." Cara's fingers flew. She raised her head a look of astonishment on her face. "Wow. This has got to be it. It happened in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1917. One of the greatest disasters at sea ever. A French freighter, Mont-Blanc, collided with another ship in the harbor. A fire detonated the cargo of the freighter which was carrying hundreds of tons of TNT, plus other explosives materials." This is one of the disasters Outcast had recreated to kill many innocent people also it was the largest explosion before the Atomic bomb. This killed lots of people and they must stop it before 8:45 the next day.

First Article
They were pushed out of society because the government tricked them into sending their children to school. This school was to change them into a white man and make them forget about their heritage. They made them cut their hair, change their dress code, change their first name into christian names, and translate their last names into English. Under the Sub title Luther Standing Bear. "All the students were given Christian first names." Also "Along with his new name came a new look. His long hair was cut short. His leggings and moccasins were taken away, replaced by an itchy wool uniform and black boots that squeaked with every step." This shows they were stripped from their Indian cultures also it shows what they were before they entered the school and now how the white man's culture changed them.

Second Article
The reason why she wrote this article is she wants to tell how Native Americans live now that it's not what people think. She wants people to know that she is a normal teenager. She lives in a house, wear jeans and live in a community where everyone knows everybody. Their reservation is surrounded by mountains and a river. They have farm animals. They pass down traditions this is important to them. Like how to hunt, fish, weave, and bead work. They have a tribal language. College life is different there are not many Native Americans who attend college. But she is learning from other classmates and she teaches them her culture. She wants to prove that someday she will be a vet and help on her reservation.

The 39 Clues Cahill vs Vespers book 5 Trust No One Q4 Blog4

The main characters names are Dan and Amy. They are still with two of their friends. They finally have gotten all the things Vesper One wants. One of their friends Atticus, found out why Vesper One wanted the stuff. It has to do with Archimedes and his device. Atticus also said other stuff has gone missing the last few months. He said some super powerful magnets and something called Antikythera were also stolen from the museum. This is happening after the 39 Clues have started. Dan, Amy and their two friends have gone all over the world. This is happening because Vesper One wants them to get these items or he will start killing their family members that he has imprisoned. Vesper One is doing this as a pressure because if they don't get this done their family will be dead.

This is a signpost. The one I found is when Atticus learns that Vesper One wants all these parts because he is remaking a deadly device that will destroy the world. I found this on page 187, "He writes that he's planning to make the device based partly on the working of the Antikythera. And then it says (machinafini mundi) Atticus blinked a few times and swallowed hard. "It means machine for the end of the world!) Otherwise know as a doomsday device." When Atticus learned about this he was kind of shocked but knew the Vesper's were never good.

The 39 clues Cahill vs. Vespers Book 5 Trust No One Q4 blog#3

The main character's  names are Dan Cahills and Amy Cahills. Their two friends are still with them. They are trying to figure out what Vesper One wants. They are being hunted by a crazy in the head traitor trying to kill them. This is happening all over the world. This is happening when their family started The 39 Clues. This is happening because Vesper One wants the items that he wanted them to find or he will kill one of the hostages he has (which are their family and two friends). This is how it happened Vesper One kidnapped their family and two friends that were also taken. He threatened Dan and Amy by saying he will kill their family and friends if Dan and Amy don't do what he wants. If they get all the things to him he will let all of them go.

The signpost that I saw was an Aha moment it was when Dan had gotten a video phone call. He immediately found out Vesper One killed one of the two friend's he held hostage. It states on page 167 "Dan had to clear his throat against a lump formed by equal parts love and dread. The camera pulled away slowly. He gasped. There was a gun pointed at Nellie's left temple. The finger on the trigger twitched. Then the feed cut off." That's when Dan realized that Vesper One started killing the hostages and also Nellie is one of the friends that was kidnapped. Dan knew the time was ticking they needed to get this thing done.

“How can I be more tolerant?”

Tolerance = the ability or willingness to allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with

My personal opinion is that I don't feel that being gay is the right way to live your life. Normally it is a woman and man to make a child, and that makes a family. Not that two men or two women couldn't make a family but it would be a longer process and hard as well. Everyone has their opinions about race, religion, politics, and being gay. I don't have to agree with their life and they don't have to agree with mine. We should respect each others opinions but should not fight about each other lives. We should get along and not try to influence each other's lifestyles. We should just tolerate what we can't change and live our lives peacefully.

The 39 Clues Cahills vs. Vespers book 5 Trust No One Q4 Blog2

The main character's are Amy Cahill and her brother Dan Cahill. They have gone all over the world with two friends. The time is in the present. Right now what's happening is Amy and Dan are trying to find their family. Vesper One is holding their parents hostage with their brother who Amy and Dan thought was dead, also two friends of Dan and Amy are with their parents. (Not the two that are with Dan and Amy now). They will also be killed if Dan and Amy don't get the things that Vesper One wants in time. This is happening because Vesper One wants some items and if they don't give it to him in time their parents, friends, and their other brother that they thought was dead will be killed. This happened when Vesper One wanted some items for an unknown reason.

The signpost I found was an Aha Moment really early in the book. It was when Amy realized that Sinead wanted to keep Amy's phone from her. That's when she realized that Sinead was evil. Amy wanted to know why Sinead wanted her phone. Explanation on page 29-30 "Her brain turned over slowly: Why does Sinead want to get her hands on my phone? Amy got out of the car and looked at her phone. She was getting a signal now. Sinead jumped out the drivers side and rushed around the front of the car. "I can fix it" Sinead shouted and snatched at the phone. She knocked it out of Amy's hand and it fell to the ground. But, Amy had already seen the first several text messages from Evan. It said URGENT SINEAD MOLE. After Amy had read the text she realized Sinead was a traitor working with the Vespers.

The Kill Order prequel of the Maze runner blog #1 Q4

The new main character's name is Mark. Mark, Alec, Trina, and Deedee, (she is a girl who they found) are trying to get to Asheville. They found a berg (a really big plane used for military operations). Mark is a military soldier trying to survive the Flare, which is actually a unknown name because it is 13 years before they named the disease. Alec is also a military solider but not a high rank but he knows how to fly the berg. Trina is also in the military she is a medic. When they found Deedee she was alone and scared. This happened because a group wanted to eliminate half the worlds population to save resources. They did this by making a disease to wipeout half of the population but they forgot to make a cure.

The character I am analyzing is Mark, he is a strong person. He doesn't let his feelings get in his way. He cares for the people in his group. On page 305, it said "He ran to the barracks door and flung it open, frantically shining his light in the bunk where he'd last seen Trina sleeping. For one split second his heart stalled- the bunk was empty. It was just rumpled sheets and a blanket. Then, out of the corner of his eye he saw Trina on the floor, Deedee siting right next to her. Their were holding hands, and both of them had sheer terror on their faces." This proves that Mark was caring and concerned about his friends and would not just leave them until he knew what was going on.

The Death Cure blog post 2!!

The main characters are still Thomas and Teresa. Thomas, Newt, Minho, and Brenda who works for Wicked are still in safe haven (a military type base). They end up finding all the security guards that are trapped in a room. All of the gladers and group B are missing. They do not know what day it is. They know they were put in the maze to make a cure for the flare. They are at safe haven (the military base). They are there because Wicked found out that some of them are immune to the flare. They did this because the disease control released the flare. Wicked was planning on making a cure to stop the flare.

The signpost I saw was contrast and contradiction it was when Minho Newt and Thomas did not want to get the thing that caused the flare out of their heads and getting their memories back. The guy they called Rat man said it was their choice if they did't want the thing out of their head. But then when they went to sleep Rat man took the thing out of their heads with the help of a few security guards. They didn't even know it happened until morning when Rat man told them which also gave them their memory back. Here's proof that happened "Rise and shine boys," the Rat Man said, "We decided to give you your memories back after all." "Like it or not." Since this happened they were also rid of the flare.

The Death Cure series #3

The main characters names are Thomas and Teresa. Then have gone to safe haven to get the cure. Here's what's happening right now Thomas found out that he and some of the others are immune to the Flare. He was told not to tell because someone else was suppose to. Then they were going to have to get the thing that causes the Flare out of  their heads. This is in the future. The place it is at safe haven. This is happening because they been rescued by some new unknown people. This happened because they survived the Scorch Trials.

A signpost I saw when I read my book was a memory moment. It happened when Teresa, Thomas, and Aris remembered all of their past. It was before they caught the thing that caused the Flare. When it happened they were to over whelmed. Here some poof "you'll have long-term memory restored and we won't be able to manipulate your minds." This means Wicked cannot take over their minds but  Thomas, Teresa, and Aris can no longer use their telepathic powers until the thing that is in their heads wears off.

The Scorch Trials # 3 blog

The main character's are still Thomas and Teresa and she is still missing. The other gladers who are still alive are infected with the flare and Thomas is as well. The flare causes people to go insane, infect, and kill other who are not infected. For some reason two people from Wicked saved Thomas when he was shot by a bullet and cured him of the flare. What has happened so far is that Thomas met this girl who was also infected with the flare but neither of them were completely crazy yet. They were attacked by cranks. Cranks are people who have been taken over by the flare. This is happening in the future. They do not know what day it is but about a month has passed. The gladers and the new people they met are at town 3-4 miles from safe heaven. This happened because Wicked was trying to test all the gladers that were smart. But if the disease control center did not release the flare then they would have gone back to their own families. This happened because the flare was released and Wicked was trying to finish the test on the gladers but they had to cut it short because of the flare and made the scorching trials, and those are on the scorching trails.

The main conflict of the story right now is group B the people in the other maze. That is in an unknown location, they are taking Thomas somewhere. Teresa is leading them and Thomas ends up fighting her. So the conflict was a man VS man which Thomas had gotten beaten up. Then Teresa left the others that are with her. So Thomas lead them to safe heaven while running in to the gladers.  Here 's evidence "Thomas was quiet as he ate with group B and prepared to leave. Soon they started making their way through the dark pass of the mountains, heading for the safe haven that was supposed to wait on the other side. They treated him well, like one of the girls"

The Scorch Trials Book #2 of the maze runner Series

The main character in the book is Thomas, he is still alive with a some other gladers. Here's what is happening right now the gladers meet a new person after they had been rescued. Then Teresa goes missing and they are trying to figure out why. Then they have to survivor to leave the place they are safe in because there's some new thing like the griever's but not as big. One of those thing are a metal death killing ball. They are also infected by the flare and need to go thought the Scorch Trail. This happened in the future after they get out of the maze. The don't know where they are because they need to go north to a town. This happened because they escaped the maze but still have not stopped Wicked. This all started because of Wicked trying to see how smart they are but they have made terrible things.

The genre of this book is fiction because this is way in the future and impossible to happen. This book has lots of other types of things too because it's fiction. So if this book was nonfiction it would not have the crazy types of monsters they have in it. Most fiction book are books that lot of people like to read. Here poof "Three feet from his bed, blinding light. The glass broken, jagged shards leaning against crisscrossed steel bars.A man stood on the other shied gripping the bar with bloody hands. His eyes were wide and bloodshot, filled with madness. Sores and Scars covered his thin sunburn face He had no hair, only diseased splotches of what looked like greenish moss. A Vicious slit stretched across his right cheek; Thomas could see teeth through the the raw, festering wound. Pink saliva dribbled in swaying lines from the man's chin. I a crank the horror of a man yelled. I a bloody crank and then he started screaming two words over and over and over, Kill me, Kill me, Kill me"

Non fiction blog post

The person that I am reading about is Malcolm X. His real name was Malcolm Little. The X stands for the unknown when he joined the Nation of Islam (for African Americans). He was born on May 19, 1925. Here a little bit of what happened. His father was murdered, so his mom has to take care of his siblings. Then later on in his life he had gotten others to join the Nation of Islam. He learned about Rose Parks, and he met Martin Luther King Jr. He was around when Brown VS Broad of Education happened. He talked to Cassius Clay who changed his name to the World Famous Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Ali. This all happened from 1925 (the year he was born in) to the year he was killed in February 26, 1965. He went all over the country and to Egypt once. This happened because Malcolm wanted to have equal rights any way necessary. This means he did do violence thing but later stopped and did nonviolence things.  This all happened because of Malcolm's father's death that is why he joined the other that stand up for equal rights.

The Aha monument that I found was when Malcolm X learned how to do nonviolence from King and  the Nation of Islam. He learned this because he was wanting to use violence because he thought white people had killed his father. But the Nation of Islam and King showed him nonviolence is the key to success and it was true. It was the worst time too because JFK was killed in his lifetime he also learned that he was not giving up just like JFK. King and Malcolm were both different here poof "Martin Luther King Jr with roots deeply planted in Georgia soil, represented a more traditional approach. His was the leadership of Christianity and non-violence. Malcolm, whose father and grandfather had come from Georgia as well, also represented the black experience. Black before Malcolm, men such as Nat Tuner, Denmark Vesey, and Gabriel Prosser, had resorted to violence or threat of violence to obtain their rights.

The Maze runner blog #3

The main characters are Thomas and Alby. Here whats happening Thomas and Ably made it out of the maze alive. Alby has gotten the serum, but now he is going through the changing from the griever bite. In the keepers meeting room, Thomas was being judged. He will either be killed or stay in the glade but be put in the slammer. It happened 5 to 6 days after Thomas's arrival. The place is in the glade, the keepers meeting room, and the room Alby was in. Why this happened is because they were judging Thomas for breaking the number one rule. The also had him in prison for one day. They also thanked him for bringing Alby who was one of the ten keepers back.

The signpost that I read was a memory moment. It was when Thomas was helping the people who created the maze and Teresa was there as well. The reason he remember that is by get bit by a griever. He had to find out why they were in there so the only way to find out is get bit by a griever. Once that he woke up he remember what happen. The evidence is "Thomas felt a pinprick on his arm Warmth spread from that point throughout his body, calming him, lessening the pain. But the world still seemed to be collapsing in on itself, and he knew it world all be gone from him in just a few seconds the room spun, colors morphing into each other, churning faster and faster. It took all his effort, but he said one last thing before the darkness took him for good. Don't worry he whisperd, hoping they could hear him I did it on purpose."

The Maze Runner blog #2

The main character is Thomas and a new character is introduced his name is Max. He was bitten by one of the grievers. A griever looks like a slug that went terribly wrong in a science experiment. It has metal body parts that can kill you under thirty seconds. If you can get back to the glade you survive with the serum they made for it. After Max took the serum he wanted to kill Thomas. It was unusual that that happened. Alby saved Thomas from Max. Later the keepers who tell the runners what to do threw Max out of the glade to die. This happened in the future three to four days after Thomas arrived. Right now Thomas and Alby are trapped in the maze trying to climb up the vines to get back into the glade. This happened because Alby was injured and Thomas ran out to the maze to help him get back. But Thomas broke the number one rule never run into the maze before sunset. This happened because Alby's injury was pretty bad.

The conflict is a Man VS Man and a Man VS survival situation. Now Thomas is trying to carry Alby up the wall to get him into the glade while being attacked by a griever. The other part of the conflict is Man VS survival. Thomas needs to get back into the glade with Alby before his injuries become to great and he will die. Here evidence "He turned and face Alby still propped against the stone wall now only a mound of shadow in the darkness kneeling on the ground Thomas felt Alby's neck then searched for a pulse. Something's there he listened at his chest like Minho had done."

The Maze Runner

  The main characters name is Thomas. The other characters are side characters they are Chuck Alby, Gally and Teresa. Thomas was confused when he wake up in the metal box that goes to the Glade. The place they are in is called the Glade but they are in the middle part of the maze. This is taking place in the future in the future, but the people in the Glade only know their name and the basics to survive. They do not know what time it is or their age. They do not know why this is happing, because their memories were erased by something or someone. They think they can figure all this out by going into the Maze. The people are called runners who go out into the maze to solve the mystery of how they ended up in the maze and how they get out. Some people think they all did something wrong to end up in the maze but some say they didn't do anything to end up in the maze.

The memory moment is this book comes up a lot. The reason why it does is when Thomas first comes to the maze he remembers something about this maze but it is unclear in his head. Here is evidence "That was the only thing Thomas only thing he could remember about his life he didn't understand how this could be possible his mind functioned with out flaw trying to calculate his surrounding and predicament knowledge flooded his thoughts facts and images memories and details of the world and how it works." The second memory moment was about when someone told the runners to start running he remembers something again but it is unclear again. Here evidence "Why did he feel that so strongly and even now after what lived in the maze." The memory moments keeps popping up again and again. The third memory moment was when Teresa came in from the metal box he remembers that he was connected to her somehow, but again its unclear. Here evidence "Thomas was drowning in sea of confusion a girl he hadn't even thought about the Glade only had boys, no girls"

Newsela blog

The topic I read about in newsela was. How should the US respond to the cyber attack on Sony. The at took place on Dec.21,2014 at Sony Pictures Studios. This happened because the "The Interview" was about the plot to assassinate North Koreas leader. North Korea objected that the US should show this movie. They think that North Korea is probably behind it. the US is trying to find out who these hackers are. They probably have a small group of skilled hackers working for them.North Korea has a history of hacking and they will go after those who criticize them. The FBI is working on the Case. President Obama's people go to the movies.
